We here at THS love us some pre-adult, freak of nature, shinobi, chelonians (PAFONSC for short). And we’re pretty sure you do, too. So you’ll probably dig this sweet rendition of Rocksteady and Bebop like we did.
It comes from concept artist Horia Docius, the man responsible for the visuals in the highly-anticipated MMORPG, Guild Wars 2. Check out more of his awesomesauce over at BADiDEAfactory.
First, a big congratulations to Melissa Dunphy for winning the coveted Best Costume of the Year Award that I just invented because this costume is so awesome. Also, I was secretly planning something like this last year but chickened out. I was going to make it out of a muscle suit.
The Autumn Society is an awesome collective of illustrators and fine artists who seem just as obsessed with nostalgia as I do. Well, this Friday they’re hosting the 80s Toy Show at Brave New World Comics, and I really wish I could be there.
There will be a lot of art there that I would be glad to put on my wall, including the Transformers by Dave Perillo. You may remember Dave’s Ghostbusters art I posted last year.
If you’re in the area and check it out, I’d be glad to post some photos from the event.
Do you think you’re a TMNT Mega-Fan? Do you have proof on photo or video? Do you like soap? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, this contest is for you! Saturday Morning Central has teamed up with Lesley of GEEKSOAP to giveaway the first set of her TMNT Guest Soap.
All you have to do to win is submit a photo or video showing that you are a TMNT Mega-Fan. It could be like the one of me above, sporting my new TMNT shirt on the first day of school when I was younger. It could be of your office now covered in TMNT memorabilia, or a photo of you in a homemade Shredder costume. It’s up to you. My panel of judges will decide who gets the soap based on the submissions, and the winner will be posted here.
You have until 10am EST on Saturday, July 3rd to get your entry in.
That’s not much time, so get out your old photo albums, warm up your video camera, and get to work. When you’ve got something ready, leave a link to it in a comment on this post. That way, everyone can see what is being entered, and we can all be equally embarrassed.
The contest is open to anyone in the United States. Good luck!
Update – Congrats to Calvin for winning the first set of TMNT Geeksoap!
Sideshow Collectibles just sent out their latest newsletter, and this time they gave us a glimpse at the Leonardo Comiquette that will be available for pre-order soon. It looks amazing as always, but part of me just wants them to start a line of retro-TMNT figures and statues based on the 80s show, but you probably already knew that.
